On January 14, Beijing time, according to ESPN, the Knicks and the Eagles reached a deal! The Hawks traded Redish, Solomon Hill and one 2025 second-round pick (from the Nets) to the Knicks, with one 2022 protected first-round pick from the Knicks (from the Hornets) and Kevin Knox. A wave of 3-for-2 deals.
It's no secret that the Hawks want to trade Reddish, and after Hunter's comeback, crowding the front line makes it difficult for them to renew Hunter and Reddish at the same time. The deal was also pretty good for Redish, who also came to a team that was willing to give him playing time and a contract extension.
The Hawks' trade with Reddish asked for a mid-first-round pick or a young player, and it was clear that the team had achieved its goal. Not only the Knicks, but also a number of teams have previously been interested in Reddish, including the Pacers, Cavaliers and Lakers.
According to The Athletic, the Lakers had offered Reddish 2 second-round picks, but the Hawks were unmoved, and they still believed that a team would eventually provide the first-round picks they wanted. Fortunately, there was no action, otherwise this wave would have lost. Fans have said: 2 second round picks want to change people, the Lakers really treat others as fools.
Grant can't come, if the Lakers take down Reddish is actually good, and last August, Reddish and Rich Paul founded the agency to complete the signing, everyone knows that old Jen is also a player of the company, can join with his idol, I believe Reddish is also very happy and excited.
Redish, born in 1999, is 22 years old. In the 2019 draft, the tenth pick in the first round was selected by the Hawks. In the 2019-20 rookie season, Reddish averaged 11 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.9 minutes per game; in the 2020-21 season, he averaged 11.2 points, 4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 28.8 minutes.
He has played in 34 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 40.2 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from three-point range. As a substitute player, he can average more than ten points per game, which is relatively stable.
In the 2020-21 season, Reddish played in 4 playoff games, averaging 23 minutes of playing time per game, contributing 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals, 52.8% shooting percentage, and 64.3% three-point shooting!
The most memorable game, the Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Hawks lost at home to the Bucks, and the aggregate score was eliminated 2-4. Reddish played 28 minutes off the bench, shooting 7-of-12 and 6-of-7 from three-point range, with 21 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists! He also became the second player in history, hitting six three-pointers in a single game in the divisional finals at the age of 21, comparable to Kobe Bryant (2000)!
It is worth mentioning that Reddish is from Duke University, and the Knicks' Barrett and Pelicans Zion, the three are known as the "Duke Three Young", and their combination in college is simply a nightmare for everyone. In the 2019 NBA Draft, all three were selected in the top ten picks, which can be imagined by fame and talent.
Now that two of the Dukes have been reunited in New York, the pressure has come to Zion. Many fans shouted that the Knicks wanted to find a way to trade Zion, so that the "Duke Three Less" would join forces again! No blowing, no black, if the three people are really put together, then the alliance will definitely have more hot topics.
Although Zion does not know when to make a comeback, after all, he is the leader of the Pelicans, and his attention will definitely be higher than that of the two. And Barrett, as a tanhua, is currently one of the core players of the Knicks, and the young man also shot a quasi-killer goal a few days ago. And Reddish is a little worse, this time to the Knicks hope to play their own fame.
